Una bella cosa!
What was the reason for making the grip in three pieces of wood, instead of just one? Just curious.

Salvete friends,
we begin to study for the empirical reconstruction of the shield (the only) found in burial No. 107 of the necropolis of Monte Tamburino - Monte Bibele.
We begin with the publication "wood umbo"
Here [url:gcnsly0z]http://www.hephestus.net/scudo_tomba_107.htm[/url] the realization of umbo Boico. IV sec. BC
We will do update on the progress of processing.

This is nice work hephestus.
Do you have thined the board down towards te edges?
I am not so shure about the shape of the shield, is this copyed from somewhere,
or does have the finds of these peticular iron edgings dictated the shape??

It's hard to find wood that wide and free of knots and blemishes. I'll bet it cost more than a bowl of spumoni, didn't it?

That would do a fair amount of damage on its own!
Amazing craftmanship!
